A man in Chicago pleaded guilty Wednesday to aggravated drunk driving and reckless homicide in connection with a Jue 2009 car crash that killed his best friend.

According to court documents, 19 year-old Onofrio "Josh" Lorusso could face up to 14 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges stemming from a car accident that killed 18 year-old Cameron Godee of West Chicago. According to Assistant Kane County State's Attorney Dave Belshan, Lorusso was driving his Ford Explorer around 77 mph in a 25-mph zone shortly before 3:30 a.m. on June 14, 2009.  Lorusso lost control of the vehicle on a curve, striking a mailbox and two trees along Royal Fox Drive in St. Charles, Belshan said.

Two passengers in the backseat of the Ford were injured in the crash.

A hospital blood test revealed that Lorusso's blood-alcohol content was almost three times the legal limit. The test also showed traces of marijuana in his system.

Belshan said Lorusso was verbally combative with police officers on the night of the crash, and refused to help them identify the other occupants of the vehicle. The Chicago collision was a shock to friends and family.

Lorusso's attorney, Vincent Solano, said his client entered a cold plea, meaning prosecutors and the defense were unable to negotiate a sentence, which will be left up to Judge Timothy Sheldon.
